The EHX Linear Power Booster

[JakeAC5253]

I just watched some video demos of the EXH LPB and instead of a clean boost it really seems more like a one knob overdrive. Knowing how things tend to stack up for one end or another, does anyone use an LPB in the context of a certain rig or layout where it actually functions as a clean boost without clipping the hell out of your tone?

it will give you a clean boost only up to a certain point then it clips... clips kinda ratty too. can you solder? its like 4 components. I remember in high school electronics making one. So you need a straight clean boost. how many DB you think? or better yet volume in percentages?

Only the Creation Audio Labs Mk.4:23 Pro, dude. It slams your front end with up to 30dB of CLEAN, dead QUIET, noiseless, pure signal boost. It lets your amp take the clipping business, and sounds truly amazing. I think the pedal is now available in the standard version which is +24dB

Nahh, I'm not looking to buy one. I actually just built a JFET one knob preamp type boost from scratch parts I had lying around. I was just looking to compare what I heard here with the schematic I somewhat based it off of, which is the LPB. Come to find out through videos that It hard clips like a mofo, and I just wondered why it was such a popular clean boost when it really doesn't do its job very well.

I use an old 70's LPB2 in my rig. In front of my super reverb it is a massive clean volume boost, but using the same setting around 1 o'clock-- in front of a Marshall, it acts like an OD pedal. Surprisingly it's not noisy.

Awesome, this is exactly what I wanted to hear!

I first used this pedal in the late70's/early 80's in front of my old 4 hole Marshall Super Lead, and it took me from 70's classic rock tones to Van Halen, Judas Priest gain levels. Then fast forward to a few years ago, I put one in front of my Mojave Peacemaker, and it was MAGICALLY perfect. I use it in front of my Metro 12xxx that Jerry modded (the white one, pictured in my sig), and it's fun fun fun. I had to sell the Peacemaker a while back, but will get another and use this pedal in front of that for tonal bliss, once again. Oh ya!!!

I'll be the judge of that... Feel free to PM me for my address, so you can send me one for demo purposes.
